New Business Locals,

THE disciple Of Gambrinus is strenuous on
two points-yjirst, that his right TO drink beer
and as much as he pleases go unquestioned,
and second, that his favorite drink be given
him with its tonic property unimpaired by
contact with the atmosphere. Until last year,
scientifically speaking, this has been de-
sideratum difficult Of attainment, for with the
utmost care the searching air would get to
the exhilarating beverage. About II months
ago, however, there was a faucet invented
which completely meets and surmounts the
ditficuulty. 1t is complicated and costly
but perfectly effective device, and being of
recent origin and covered by letters patent,
there are as yet but few in use, among them
one in Frostburg in the Palace Billiard Par
lors, Meats Opera House, JOHN l.. HEINTz
proprietor. During these warm days and
evenings the searcher for glass of Common
or Lager Beer can get either in its pure, fresh,
cool condition at HEINTz's.

Mr.. JAMES CAMPBELL argues that
''for miner to tell the JOURNAL
about foul air and have it printed
would not only insure his discharge,
but also the enforcement of that dead
ly weapon that our operators have
used so unsparingly and with such
effect in driving some of our best
citizens from the region by placing
them on the blacklist" Continuing
he says:
l can give you names of miners in Potomac,
part of Jackson and Old 'Coney who are
compelled to work in this foul air that is vir-
tually shortening their lives, and 1 know
some of them have complained to the mining
boss, and all the satisfaction they got was, if
they didn't like it, they could quit work, rs
they had no further use for them. This is
certainly a contradiction to the JOURNALS oft
repeated phrase of the harmonious feeling
existing between operators and miners, when
the actual state Of affairs is one of submission
to every dictation right or wrong.
We will pass without discussion the
implied obligation of the companies to
compel some miners to work under
deadly conditions.
We will overlook also their wicked
ness in exiling some of "our best cit
liens" from an equal opportunity to
brave the perils of foul air.
We will omit attention to these
points, we repeat, partly because Mr..
Campbell's report leads us to believe
that those who have been blacklisted
are far better off in exile than those
whom the companies compel to re-
main here to ''shorten their lives"
To rectify these wrongs, Mr.. Camp
bell, although not very clear upon this
point, wants law which will make
the companies take care of health
and life, or take the consequences.
But he does not go far enough.
What he really wants is law pro-
hibiting blacklist.
Without this the new regime of pure
air will be worthless, for the miner
who, fearing discharge, will not either
publicly or privately correct the
JOURNAL, will not go before grand
jury or on the witness-stand for the
same reason. Testimony is indis-
pensable to conviction under the best
law on the statute-books.
The anti-blacklist law will be hard
to get, but without it any alterations,
amendments or additions to the exist
ing mining law will be nil.

Mothers.-There are upon the skin OF
every human being, child and adult alike,
2,300,000 pores. Through these pores in
the form of insensible perspiration, is
expelled more than one-quarter of the
nourishment taken into the system. The
importance of keeping open these perspira-
ton valves upon a child's body, is second
only to that of promptly digesting the food
eaten. 1t was to open the pores Of the skin,
and to assimilate the food that DR.. Pitcher
formulated Castoria. Loose bowels, con-
stipation, fevers and eruptions which are so
constant among infants and children, and
which kill one-third of all children before
they are five years old, arise principally
from these two causes. 1t is from the won.
derful results attendant upon the use of Cas-
toria in regulating the stomach and bowels
and keeping open the pores of the skin, that
Castoria acquired its worldwide reputation.
With plenty Of water for the body, pure air
for the lungs and Castoria to assimilate the
food. there need be no unaccounted for sick
ness among children. Castoria is a vegetable
prescription without morphine or narcotic
property. Thirty years extensive use has
given it history never attained by another
medicine

WEST VIRGINIA is famous for slate coal.
She is now coming to the front as gold field.

describing the best semi-bituminous
coal in the world, our county-seat will
play second fiddle to its tidal neighbors
in promoting the growth Of our ar
gillaceous rival across the river. And
this result, it is needless to state,
will involve measurably the decline,
perhaps the destruction of our own
great trade.

confessedly and everlastingly superior
to all other steam raising fuels, has

do nothing but ride away out of the range of the deadly weapons, leav- ing the dead men and horses on the ground. They made their way to Graham's as rapidly as they could with the wounded man Tucker, but he died before they reached the ranch.
 From information brought by a man who left Graham's ranch on Wednesday, a party had started from there to recover the dead bodies of Payne and Gillespie. To do so they would have to go with in thirty yards of the house. No information of this expedition has been heard, but it is feared that fur ther bloodshed may have ensued.- Flagstaff Champion.

as an oath administered under any circumstances, We note some who have taken an oath before the As sessor, that such and such was all the property in their possession, and when raised by the Board re- fuse-to make oath that they did not have the property thus added to their assessments. This is perjury and nothing else.
 Some say tits impossible to swear as to the number of cattle or horses they own. When assessments are given in under oath, as they must be, such people would be exempt from taxation, or else made perjure themselves by swearing to some thing they know nothing about. There is no more reason why a stock man should be unable to give a true list to the Assessor of his property, than there is to say it is impossible for lumber man to give a true list of the number of feet of lumber he has on hand, or for a farmer to give in the value of his real estate and improvements.
 It is a significant fact that while the aggregate valuation of taxable property in the county has in creased nearly half a million dol lars in the last year, the taxes of only half a dozen of the largest tax payers has made the increase, while the taxes of the smaller tax payers have alarmingly decreased in nearly every instance. A glance over the assessment roll will thor oughly convince one that if ever the smaller tax payers paid upon a greater proportion of property than the larger ones, it is no longer a fact and must have been a plea so consistently ridden that both back and withers have become callous and countenance so hard as to defy the blush of shame.

The Los Angeles Times says De-
 tective Burke, the man whom Me
 Queen wished to make confdant
 of, was in the city, but left for the south late in the afternoon and will not return until the last of the week. He slipped quietly into the county jail and had a long talk with Me Queen. Burke was on his way to New Mexico, and is very certain that he will not give the thing away until he is ready to set. It is a well-known fact that Mcqueen was ill Tucson shortly before the train robbery took place and admits him. self that he received portion of the money, although he was not there. He went so far as to make out a list of the men who were ac- tive in the robbery, but 1t has dis appeared, and where it has gone no one seems to know. From the way Burke and the detectives acted yes= terday, it seems as if there were some big scheme in the wind, but they are determined to keep the public in the dark as long as possi- ble, They are positive, however, that they have more than enough evidence to send Mcqueen to the states prison for a number of years on the ground that he was an &C., complice to the robbery.

ONE can see displayed before a Board of Equalization, a drama which is interesting, amusing and disgusting. Nearly every one whose taxes may have been raised by the Board, consider their taxes were raised through personal motives alone. The duties of the Board are lost sight of-never at once reflect ed upon or considered, and their every act is construed as "personal" bolstered up by prejudice.
 Very few consider their oath to the Assessor to which they affixed their signatures, as of any conse- quence whatever, but something from which perjury cannot come no oath at all-when it is as solemn
